Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Control Valve?
A valve used to regulate (modulate) flow, pressure, temperature, or liquid level. Uses an actuator and positioner to move the valve to any position between fully open and fully closed in response to a controller signal. Sized by Cv for the required flow range.
What is a Control Valve used for?
Control Valves are used in industrial piping systems for on-off isolation, flow control, or backflow prevention depending on the valve type. They are selected based on the process fluid, operating pressure and temperature, required shutoff class, and pipeline size. Vajra Industrial Solutions supplies Control Valves certified to API 6D, ASME B16.34, and other applicable standards.
How do I select the right Control Valve for my application?
Selecting the correct Control Valve requires specifying: (1) nominal pipe size (NPS/DN), (2) pressure class per ASME B16.34, (3) body and trim material based on fluid compatibility and temperature, (4) end connections (flanged RF/RTJ, butt-weld, socket-weld, or threaded), (5) required certifications (API 6D, ISO 9001, fire-safe API 607).
